The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index, beaten down by worries of higher interest rates, was the outperformer last week, jumping 2.4%. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones also rose, gaining 1.5% and 1.1%, respectively.
As such, some ETFs have gained in double digits. These include Blockchain & Bitcoin Strategy ETF BITS, Viridi Cleaner Energy Crypto-Mining & Semiconductor ETF RIGZ, VanEck Vectors Digital Transformation ETF DAPP, AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF MSOS, and Global X Blockchain ETF BKCH. These funds seem excellent choices to play the rebound.
The Nasdaq outperformance came despite the worst day on Feb 3 since September 2020. The rounds of strong earnings from some of the biggest tech names have led to the robust rebound. Amazon AMZN led the benchmark higher with a huge earnings beat on strong growth in its cloud computing and growing advertising business. The e-commerce giant posted the biggest one-day gain since 2015. Snap Inc. SNAP skyrocketed 58.8% and Pinterest PINS rose 11.2% following solid earnings (read: ETFs to Buy on Amazon’s Big Q4 Earnings Beat).
Additionally, the tech sector outlook remains upbeat given the global digital shift that has accelerated e-commerce for everything, ranging from remote working to entertainment and shopping. The rapid adoption of cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, wearables, VR headsets, drones, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital communication and 5G technology should continue to drive the sector higher.
In a tight policy era, technology seems one of the safest sectors as most companies are sitting on a huge cash pile. The cash reserves will ensure that these companies are not plagued by any financial trouble, even in a rising interest rate environment (read: Rate Hikes to Weigh on Nasdaq: Go Short With These ETFs).
